ALMA: "“Community Campout"”
ALMA: You will never guess where
we're going to sleep tonight...
On a ROOF! I'll show you!
[door creaking]
ALMA/HOWARD: [gasp]
FRANKIE: Welcome to the Community Center Campout!
HOWARD: Whoa!
And I thought you could only camp in the woods!
FRANKIE: Nah, we roof camping.
And we still outside, under the stars.
ALMA: Isn't this sa-weet?
RAFIA: Hey, Alma!
Hi, Howard!
HOWARD: Hey, Rafia, where am I sleeping?
LUCAS: Howard, over here! You're in my tent.
HOWARD: Okay!
FRANKIE: '‘Eeeyyy, we got a campfire!
ALMA: Like a real fire?
FRANKIE: Nah, this one's paper,
so it's safe to have on the roof.
RAFIA: Check it out!
RAFIA: My mom and I made these.
ALMA: Ah-may-zing!
MRS. HUDA: Ah-may-zing and delicious!
[chuckles] Here.
This is called Moong Pakon Pitha.
I loved it when I was your age!
ALMA: Thanks, Mrs. Huda.
[crunching]
MRS. HUDA: Mmm,
and I love it at this age too! [chuckles]
RAFIA: Whaddya think?
ALMA: Yummy!
ALMA: Mmm! It's so good!
RAFIA: I know. I helped make it.
RAFIA/MRS. HUDA: [laughing]
[sleeping bag flops open]
ALMA: Look who's here!
RAFIA: Captain Banana!
Hey! Welcome to our tent!
ALMA: [silly voice] I'm way way way excited.
I've never slept outside before.
RAFIA: Me neither.
RAFIA: My tummy's feeling all flippy-floppy.
ALMA: I'm kinda nervous too.
But that's why Captain Banana's here.
Did you bring Boo Boo Fluffy?
RAFIA: Nah, I left it at home.
ALMA: Oh, you did?
RAFIA: Well... uhm..
FRANKIE: Alma! Rafia! Story time!
RAFIA: Uh, C'mon! Let's go.
ALMA: Huh.
Rafia always sleeps with Boo Boo Fluffy.
FRANKIE: Okay campers!
Ya'll can't have a campfire without a campfire story!
And I've got a good one!
ALMA: Is it a scary story?
FRANKIE: Mm-hmm!
ALMA: Is it way, way, way scary?
FRANKIE: Nah...
FRANKIE: It's only a little scary,
but it's a little funny too.
ALMA: I like to be a little bit scared,
but not too scared.
Let's hear it, Frankie!
FRANKIE: Alright,
but it's gonna get...
spoooky up in here!
KIDS: Oooh!
RAFIA: [giggles]
FRANKIE: So check it,
there was a pair of sneakers...
that was magical.
KIDS: Ooooh!
FRANKIE: [chuckles]
And could dance on their own.
LUCAS: Did they have moves like this?
LUCAS: Doo-do-do-doo! Doo-do-do-doo!
KIDS: [giggles]
FRANKIE: Yo man,
maybe not as smooth as that.
But they danced the mashed potato,
la pachanga, even tap danced.

FRANKIE: [imitates tap dancing sounds] Tap, tap, tippity, tap tap!
Tippity-tap, tippity-tap, tippity-tap, ha! [continues]
ALMA: Uhh... Frankie?
FRANKIE: ...tap-tap-tippity... [stops short]
KIDS: [giggles]
FRANKIE: Oh, right.
FRANKIE: So these sneakers danced everywhere!
HARPER: Like at the playground?
FRANKIE: Mm-hmm.
ALMA: On this block?
FRANKIE: For sure!
HOWARD: On this roof?
FRANKIE: [sinister chuckle] Definitely on this roof!
ALMA: For real?
HOWARD: [gulps] Time out!
I need to get something.
FRANKIE: I gotchu.
HOWARD: Ah, much better.
Time in!
FRANKIE: But the sneakers only came out at night.
Tap, tap, tappity, tap, tap!
HARPER: [gasp]
FRANKIE: Time out?
HARPER: Yes, please.
FRANKIE: Anyone else?
LUCAS: Uh, me! ALMA: And me!
MRS. HUDA: Come here! [Speaking Bengali]
MRS. HUDA: I thought...
you might want Boo Boo Fluffy tonight.
ALMA: Aw, there's Boo Boo Fluffy!
RAFIA: Uhh.. here!
RAFIA: Oh wait.. It's okay.
ALMA: I like spooky stories...
but I like them a lot more when I can
snuggle with Captain Banana.
Kids: [sigh happily]
FRANKIE: All good?
KIDS: Mm-hmm!
ALMA: [whispering] Hey, Rafia,
what about Boo Boo Fluffy?
I thought I saw you with--
RAFIA: I'm fine without her.
FRANKIE: Sooo where was I?
Oh yeah!
Tap, tap, tappity, tap. Tap, tap...
Just when you thought
you could go to sleep...
[yells] TAP!!!
KIDS: Ahh!
LUCAS: And then what happened?
FRANKIE: No one could go to sleep.
They were all like,
"Man, I'm so tired!"
FRANKIE: But the sneakers wouldn't stop!
RAFIA: Huh?
FRANKIE: Tap, tap, tippity, tap.
FRANKIE: Tap, tap, tippity, tap, tap, tippity, tap, tap!
ALMA: [whispering] Boo Boo Fluffy!
FRANKIE: All night... and from everywhere!
FRANKIE: Tap, tap, tippity, TAP TAP! TIPPITY, TAP TAP TAAAAP!
FRANKIE: But then,
it stopped...
until...
[clattering dishes] KIDS /FRANKIE: [gasps]
MRS. HUDA: Oops! Sorry!
That was me, not the magic sneakers!
Kids: [giggle]
ALMA: You okay, Rafia?
RAFIA: All good.
Frankie, what happens next?
FRANKIE: Uhh...
The sneakers were covered with
mushy garden stuff like
tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini.
ALMA: Hmm,
maybe Rafia wants Boo Boo Fluffy
but doesn't want to
miss the story?
Oooh!
FRANKIE: [continues telling story]
ALMA: Mrs. Huda,
can I bring Boo Boo Fluffy to Rafia, please?
MRS. HUDA: That's a great idea.
Thanks, Alma.
FRANKIE [continues story]
FRANKIE: Fluffy slippers...
tap dancing shoes, uh uh uh...
bowling shoes, soccer shoes, penny loafers...
FRANKIE: Every kind of shoe...
ALMA: Huh,
guess she doesn't want her.
Nevermind,
thanks, Mrs. Huda.
MRS. HUDA: Okay!
FRANKIE: They danced all together!
All the magic shoes danced through the city
until they found a roof...
like this one...
where kids were camping out...
KIDS: [gasp]
FRANKIE: And they danced on top of their tents...
tippity TAP!
RAFIA: Oh!
FRANKIE: TAP,
TAP,
TIPPITY,
TAP...
ALMA: [shouting over Frankie's voice] RAFIA!
ARE YOU SURE
YOU DON'T WANT BOO BOO FLUFFY?
HOWARD: What or who is a Boo Boo Fluffy?
RAFIA: ALMA!! Ugh!!
ALMA: Whoa, what just happened?
I-I was just trying to help Rafia feel better.
ALMA: [sigh] I gotta think about this.
Kids: [sigh happily]
ALMA: Everyone felt better
holding the things they loved.
RAFIA: Nah, I left it at home.
ALMA: But Rafia didn't even bring
Boo Boo Fluffy.
Her mom did!
ALMA: I tried to help by asking if she wanted it.
And asking...
and asking... and asking!
Oh... I see what I did there.
I know what to do.
I've gotta talk to Rafia.
ALMA: Hi, Rafia...
RAFIA: Hey.
ALMA: How's it going?
RAFIA: Fine.
MRS. HUDA: [kisses Rafia]
ALMA: Sorry I kept bringing up Boo Boo Fluffy.
RAFIA: It's okay.
I love Boo Boo...
I've had her since I was a baby.
RAFIA: But she's torn and old and...
doesn't even fit me, see?
ALMA/RAFIA: [giggle]
RAFIA: I guess I didn't want
everyone to see her like this...
But having her does make me feel better.
ALMA: Just like I love Captain Banana
and our friends like their things...
RAFIA: You know, you're right!
RAFIA: Hey, Boo Boo Fluffy,
I need you for this story.
RAFIA: [silly voice] Yay! I love campfire stories!
RAFIA: Everyone,
meet Boo Boo Fluffy.
This was my hat when I was a baby and I LOVE her!
LUCAS: Aww! So snuggly! HARPER: It's so cute! HOWARD: Aww!
RAFIA: My mom made her for me!
MRS. HUDA: I keep telling Rafia
that I can make her a new Boo Boo Fluffy,
but she keeps saying "“no."”
RAFIA: Nope, THIS is my Boo Boo Fluffy!
Okay, Frankie,
I'm ready to finish the scary story.
HARPER: Finish the story! HOWARD: Yeah! C'mon, Frankie! LUCAS: Please! Please!
FRANKIE: You got it!
FRANKIE: Um... where was I?
KIDS: Tap, tap, tippity, tap...
RAFIA: On the tents!
FRANKIE : Right!
The kids peeked out of their tents
and saw the dancing shoes...
everywhere!
FRANKIE: Shoes on the left!
Shoes on the right!
FRANKIE: And then one kid, the bravest one,
shouted out: '‘DAAAAANCE BREAK!'
And they all got up and danced with the shoes!
[chuckles]
KIDS: DANCE BREAK!! [giggles]
RAFIA: Woo-hoo!
LUCAS: Alright! Okay! I see your moves!
ALMA: Captain Banana loves to break it down.
RAFIA: Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Yeah!
ALMA: And so does Boo Boo Fluffy! [chuckles]
